Description
Dr. Stancel discusses his administrative track during the last forty minutes. He traces his various roles in the Medical School, culminating in his GSBS Deanship (’99), an appointment that made him “the Dean for everybody,” both Dr. John Mendelsohn, president of MD Anderson, and Dr. David Low, president of the Health Science Center. He talks about the process of winning degree-granting status for MD Anderson. He tells a story to illustrate the kinds of dilemmas he works with as a Dean who must collaborate with multiple institutions. Dr. Stancel gives an overview of his responsibilities: reviewing of programs, building enrollments, improving academic planning processes, and integrating young faculty more effectively into their roles.
